Newly updated nrf connect app is lacking a feature

[Harshitha]

After connecting the device in nrf connect app, based on the protocol of our device we are supposed to give a certain code in RX Characteristic which is present under  Nordic UART Service.

The option of adding a new value is only present in version 4.28.0 and after updating the option of adding a value is there but without extension (0x).

(a) This is the old version. The values that i am supposed to give should have extension of "0x"

 (b)  This is the updated version where there is no extension. Even if i type the code with the extension , the device is not considering it.

May I please know what changes should be done in the settings of nrf connect app?

Thank you

Harshitha,

This seems like a bug if not changed intentionally. I will have to ask the tools team to comment on this as only they can give a proper answer and workaround (if any) to this. Base don the snapshots you provided, I am guessing you are using nrf connect app on Android?

Will be back to you when I have some more information on this.

Hi, sorry for delays but I still did not get response from the R6D team regarding this most likely due to summer holiday. I am expecting that most of them will return this week and we might get an update soon.

There is a setting called, "Parse known characteristics" that you can enable after connecting to the device, may be this might help and no we have not made any changes to the UART UI.
